  • Episode Highlights:

    [11:03] Building Resistance Through Failure

    Failure can build resilience if we have the right perspective on it. Adam says that viewing failure as an opportunity to learn and grow, rather than seeing ourselves as victims, allows us to build resilience through the discomfort of what we perceive as failure. When we face challenges or setbacks and don't give up, but instead keep trying and learning from our mistakes, we are developing resilience. Every time we "fail forward" rather than giving up, our ability to withstand difficulties and persist in the face of obstacles gets stronger. Approaching failure as a chance to grow rather than a reason to quit helps build the resilience that can help us achieve greater success in the long run.

    [11:30] Failure as an Opportunity to Learn and Grow

    Failure can be "an opportunity to learn and grow" if we have the right perspective on it. We can learn lessons from our experiences with failure about ourselves and how to improve. For example, we might learn what kind of positions or experiences would help us keep a job we lost. Viewing failure as a learning experience, rather than something that defines us, allows us to gain knowledge that can help us avoid similar setbacks in the future and achieve new heights. As long as we don't see ourselves as victims and instead seek the opportunity in failure, we can use it to grow in a positive way.

    [13:50] Failure as an Opportunity to Transform

    Failure or setbacks can spark a transformation in our lives through a new beginning, career, business, health journey, or other change. We have the power within us to succeed through transformation. Viewing failure as fuel for positive transformation allows us to transcend our past experiences and create something new and improved for ourselves.
